Chapter 2605: Chapter 1891: Extraordinary Visitor
Mira, Wagg originally came with high spirits, intending to take advantage of the momentum of public opinion to "take down" Bai Xiaosheng and put an end to this matter once and for all.
To be honest, reaching this point, they are also bearing immense risk. Although there has been no indication from above, if they were to speak out, it would mean they must bring an end to it.
Looking at it this way, the time left for them is actually not much.
They must quickly achieve the results they desire.
Yet the two never imagined that Bai Xiaosheng, this Huaxia man, was truly tough! At this point, instead of yielding, he grew even more stubborn and unyielding!
Judging by his eyes, he’d rather see things end in mutual destruction than compromise with them.
As the two were troubled, they heard their subordinate report that someone wanted to see them, someone they both "must meet".
Mira and Wagg immediately exchanged a glance.
In the presence of Bai Xiaosheng, that subordinate definitely couldn’t exaggerate or speak nonsense.
Does that mean someone from above has come down?
Mira and Wagg’s hearts instantly tightened.
"Understood, we’ll go there right away. You wait outside for a while!" Mira first dismissed the subordinate who came to inform them.
That subordinate retreated, carefully closing the door.
Wagg turned to Bai Xiaosheng, gently saying, "Mr. Sheng, we have some business to attend to and must leave you for a moment. Just as well, you can take some time to consider, rather than making a rash decision. The matter concerning you has become widely known, and the impact is extremely negative. Even if you can disregard it yourself, you must consider your trade group, your friends who have been tirelessly working for you—how can you leave them behind? And Mr. Hou Yuncheng, who has become thin and haggard because of your situation! This affair, on a larger scale, even affects the reputation of Huaxia people! So you must not act out of impulsiveness! Consider our suggestion carefully—it benefits both you and us!"
Wagg surprisingly "spoke earnestly," advising Bai Xiaosheng.
Mira listened from the side, nodding occasionally, and when Wagg finished, he added, "Indeed, Mr. Bai, this matter is not without room for maneuver! As long as you reach some ’agreement’ with us! We can handle the media and all parties, ensuring your losses are minimal!"
Mira felt he had spoken quite directly.
Currently, he was unsure of the situation in the office and eagerly wanted to check.
Wagg felt the same.
The two spoke and were about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng took a quick step and blocked their way.
"No need to rush off; I have something to say." Bai Xiaosheng calmly looked at Mira and Wagg and said, "From the beginning, I thought this sudden disaster was unusual! When I first arrived in Oshan and the donation procedures had no issues, I was somehow caught up in a fraud case."
"Mr. Wagg came to me three times a day, continually using so-called new evidence to ’threaten’ me, attempting to persuade me to convince the trade group to cooperate with you."
"Later, the private gift from the Yang Family became so-called ’bribe’ evidence—a mere few tens of thousand US dollars worth, yet the public opinion exploded to the heavens. Can you say there’s no manipulative force behind this?"
"And now, you’re coming to me saying that if I agree to your terms, you can settle everything for me!"
"This doesn’t align with the positive image you have always presented to me!"
Bai Xiaosheng finished in one breath and then said, "So can you give me a straight answer, what exactly did I do to offend you two, making you resort to such tactics against me!"
"Or from the start, was it all about the benefit, and you came to frame me!"
Bai Xiaosheng’s words made Mira and Wagg exchange a glance.
The two looked at Bai Xiaosheng with deep significance.
"You needn’t worry; my phone isn’t with me, so there’s absolutely no chance for any recording or filming." Bai Xiaosheng spread his hands, sincerely saying, "Whatever the final outcome, I must understand the situation, right?"
Bai Xiaosheng seemed single-minded.
Nevertheless, it truly matched the stubborn nature he had just demonstrated.
Mira and Wagg even found him somewhat ridiculously obstinate.
There was no fourth person in the room, and no recording equipment; they were also eager to return to the office, yet Bai Xiaosheng stubbornly remained like a fool.
Mira smiled and said, "We have never had a personal grudge with you."
Wagg added from the side, "Mr. Bai, some matters are mutually understood, why insist on speaking them so openly."
Seeing the two persist, Bai Xiaosheng directly walked to the door and locked it.
Then, Bai Xiaosheng turned to look at them, calmly saying, "I am a single-minded person! I just want to hear you two ’confess’ a bit. Maybe then I will reconsider and cooperate with you! But if you think it’s completely unnecessary, treating my questions with disdain—well, that’s disrespectful to me! Let me tell you, you won’t be leaving here anytime soon!"
Bai Xiaosheng was clearly set on being stubborn.
Mira and Wagg both frowned.
At this moment, there was an important guest in the office that they were eager to see.
Bai Xiaosheng’s refusal to let them leave—would they really have to resort to force, break out?
Despite the fact they were two people, they were not necessarily a match for this physically strong young Huaxia man. Moreover, as dignified top officials of Oshan Business Department, fighting with someone—if word got out, would they want to keep their reputation, still dream of surviving in politics?
Wagg glanced at Mira, and his look means distinctly: perhaps it’s best to lay cards on the table with him; after all, no outsiders are present, and even if he hears it, no one would believe him if he spreads it.
